The Centre consists of two full-sized soccer (football) fields as well as office buildings and classrooms, which allow for the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) to utilize the space to its fullest potential for both administrative purposes as well as athletic purposes.
The Centre has hosted in the past both the national soccer team and also local soccer teams, including the Reggae Boyz and currently youth teams. The Reggae Boyz are the Jamaican National Senior Team and the youth teams are divided by age group (either under the age of 20 or under the age of 17) and by gender (both men's and women's teams). In addition to having soccer teams play there, the Jamaican National Soccer Centre also hosts tryouts and trainings throughout the year.
There is a calendar of events found on the official Jamaica Football Federation's website. This can be found by going here: http://www.jamaicafootballfederation.com/v1/calendar-of-events-3/
Even though soccer has been around in Jamaica since approximately 1893, the Jamaica Football Federation's goal for its Centre of Excellence is to expand the game of soccer throughout Jamaica. In order to accomplish this goal, the Centre is also the main location for its youth and coaching programs. The Jamaica Football Federation provides interested parties with access to a Coaching School Magazine as well as Coaching School Registration forms for both Advanced Level I and Advanced Level II. Both the magazine and the forms are downloadable and can be found at the JFF's official website: http://www.jamaicafootballfederation.com/v1/coaching/
Finally, the Jamaican National Soccer Centre will help facilitate both the Jamaica Football Federation's mission statement and vision. The JFF's mission is to help introduce, develop and cultivate soccer's success and provide athletic entertainment to the people of Jamaica. The JFF's vision is to accomplish this goal by 2022 and to have the Jamaican national team risen to international success.
